Mr.. J. b. Stebbins, of Utica township,

| "Silversides" and its dam, second
dam and third dam are we'll known
red polIed COWS in II. w. Stone < Co.'S

People who come to town and re-
main any length Of time should nrst
see that their horses are properly
blanketed and protected from the
:, we're weather, before attending
to anything else. 1t is
cruel to allow the faithful animals to
stand unprotected 70: hours at Il time
as is often done. Remember that
the horse has not only money
value but a life of usefulness, and
while unable TO protest against such
treatment they can not nclp but suffer.
and should be protected.-Montcvideo
Leader.
WHY d res the Manitoba road charge
twenty cents per hundred for carry
ing oats from Morris to LarimOre
when it carries oats from ST. Paul to
Larimore for fifteen cents per hum
dred? It does, and because 1t does
one OF our merchants has recently
lost sale of car load of oats. His
customers found that he could ship
five cents per hundred cheaper from
st. Paul than from Morris and bought
at the former place. Messrs. Legis-
lators, can you not pass a law that
will make such discrimination lm-
possible?

Somebody has condensed the mis-
takes of life, and arrived at the con-
clusion that there are fourteen of
them. They are 1t is IL great mis-
take to set up our own standard of
right and wrong, aud judge people ac-
cordingly; to measure the enjoyment
of others by our own; to expect uni
formity Of opinion in this world; to
look for judgment and experience in
youth; to endeavor to mold all dis
positions alike; TO yield to imma-
terial trifies; to look for perfection in
our own action; to worry ourselves
AMI Others with what cannot be
remedied, and not to alleviate all that
needs alleviation as far as lies in our
power; not to make allowances for
the infirmities of others; to consider
everything impossible that we cannot
perform; to believe only what our
finite minds can grasp; to expect to
be able to understand everything.
Farm, Stock and Home speaks OF
| the immutable law Of nature that
like Uegets like" and adds: We
wish TO say word about the neces-
sity of selecting good seed another
spring for ali the grains we SOW and
the seeds we plant. 1t has been DEM
| onstrated so often that if we would
have good crops we must have good
seed, that it would seem Unnecessary
to say more. No one should expect
to raise crop where poor seed taken
from poor plants is used. Good seed
will come up quickly, and It's crops
are always the best i'll every respect.
Poor seed will grow, Of course hut its
plants are most likely to he sickly
and puny the whole season, yielding
an inferior quality and quantity. A
change of seed is Of the greatest i'm
portancc. Two years sowing from
seed raised on the farm Is long enough.
! Continued sowing of seed OIL the land
where it WAS grown il like breeding
In.aud-In with stock-it is sure to de-
generate; but chang ng seed every
year or two will prevent such re-
suit. Only the best possible selections
should be used.
